Sylvanie-Imagn Images Florida Panthers forwards Eetu Luostarinen and Anton Lundell will be ready for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night in Edmonton, coach Paul Maurice said Saturday.
Both players were injured in Wednesday's series-clinching Game 5 win against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Panthers forward A.J. Greer's status for the series opener against the Oilers remains uncertain. He missed Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals and was on the ice for only 4:22 in Game 5 due to a lower-body injury.
All three players did not participate in Saturday's practice, the first team skate since the defending champs booked their spot in a Finals rematch with Edmonton.
"I think the only question mark is Greer," Maurice said. "We will list him as day to day. The other guys are fine. They will be back on the ice tomorrow when we do a little bit of an optional."
Luostarinen, 26, recorded 24 points (nine goals, 15 assists) in 80 games during the regular season and 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in 17 games this postseason.
Lundell, 23, tallied 45 points (17 goals, 28 assists) in 79 games in the regular season and 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 17 playoff games.
Greer, 28, posted 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in 81 games in the regular season and two goals and one assist in 12 playoff contests.
